Humanists educators want students to improve their own quality of life and find their purpose. This reminds me of what I believe to be the most important purpose of school; the purpose of school is for students to reach their full potential.

Humanism attacked religious teachings. Erasmus believes humans had religious instincts, morals, free will, and that children were born good.

Humanists believe humans are in control of their own destiny and are therefore are self-motivated to succeed. Educators can focus on motivation and give students freedom to make their own choices; if children are born good then they should make good choices? -food for thought.

Humanists teachers focus on serving the needs of students and may experience high stress due to differences in societal viewpoints.

Hannah

Souls do not exist. There is no proof that souls exist. Humans have consciousness. When you die you loose consciousness, not your soul. Nothing but matter is real.

Hannah

Your mind is different than your soul. Your mind is a part of your body and determines consciousness. Your mind absorbs knowledge about the external world using the 5 senses.

"Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust." Humanists do not believe in existence after death. They share some similar qualities to realist; believe what you see and require hard evidence. Perception is not truth.

Hannah

hthurlow0024 — 2024-12-13 02:54:52 UTC

Verbal testimony is not a reliable source of knowledge. In other words, do not believe everything you are told. Humanists do not take someone's words as concrete knowledge. They are not exactly skeptical, but rather believe what they directly observe.

Hannah

Humanists do not believe in any version of the afterlife. They are not followers of religion and are not easily convinced.

Hannah

hthurlow0024 — 2024-12-13 02:56:35 UTC

Humanists are very logical thinkers. They do accept hunches or feelings as knowledge. They do not allow emotion to cloud what is true.

Hannah

hthurlow0024 — 2024-12-13 02:57:25 UTC

Because there is no such thing as a soul, and your mind is a part of your body, when you die, your intelligence/knowledge dies with you.

Hannah

Humanists value meeting human needs. Educators want to meet the needs of their students. Meeting human needs will lead to meeting the needs of society.

Hannah

hthurlow0024 — 2024-12-13 02:59:11 UTC

Humans are social animals. Part of meeting human needs is to ensure there is a strong culture and civilization present. We must nurture society.

Hannah

Humanists fight for civil rights and social justice. They do not believe religious teachings belong in public schools. They strive for the citizens of the world to work together to solve problems.

Hannah

Humanists are in love with life. They determine their future and their achievements. They are strong advocates for freedom.

"We can discover no divine purpose or providence for the human species. While there is much that we do not know, humans are responsible for what we are or will become. No deity will save us; we must save ourselves."

Decision-making is guided by ethics, realistic/ practical consequences and scientific understanding, emphasizing sustainability and progress.
